What happened
This is a Schneier blog roundup covering multiple high-impact security stories: a contractor for CISA publicly exposed highly privileged AWS GovCloud credentials and internal build/deploy files on GitHub, constituting a major government data leak; a researcher-published zero-day named “YellowKey” reliably bypasses default Windows 11 BitLocker protections (TPM-based) but requires physical access; an AI-assisted team used Anthropic’s Mythos to find and exploit a macOS kernel memory corruption on Apple M5 hardware, highlighting AI models’ utility for vulnerability discovery (with GPT-5.5 reported
